CNET Editors' review
Just as its name suggests, My Shopping List lets you build, save, and alter any number of grocery lists. You simply populate each of the category tabs, such as Dairy or Vegetables, with items your household consumes and the quantity you want. When it's time to shop, you can check off individual items in each category. Right-clicking gives you options for checking or unchecking all items in the category or on the entire list. You can print or e-mail the finished list, complete with a Notes field. However, it would be nice if unused categories didn't appear on the final list. E-mailing requires that you set Outlook as your default e-mail client. Also, the quantity appears too far from the grocery item it describes; a table format or grid lines would improve legibility. Finally, changing the quantity of an item for the printed or e-mailed list changes the underlying quantity on your saved list, even if you don't press the Save button. Despite these quirks, My Shopping List offers enough flexibility and functionality to earn a home on many family PCs.Publisher's Description

"Works well"

"The kind of thing I needed"
Version: My Shopping List 1.1
Summary
I'd been looking for something similar to "My List" (TM) on Drugstore.com. Being able to check things off and add them to the printout works well for me, and going through the whole list reminds me of things I would otherwise forget to PUT on a list. The "Note" option is a useful addition for activities that don't fit (stopping to get gas is the example given). It's organized by tabs, and you can save different lists for different stores. In future versions I'd like to see the ability to add more than one item at a time, to alphabetize additions to the categories or to customise the tabs to reflect the aisles in your store. It does just fine the way it is, but that would move it up to "excellent". It's so easy to use you could even have your family add checkmarks to a list all week as they run out of things.

I got this one after getting trying Simply Shopping. Well, the effort is there but is not anyone would use for preparing shopping lists.
